The CGGVeritas seismic vessel Symphony achieved a new industry record for 3D seismic production efficiency by acquiring 2,490 square kilometers (961 sq miles) of data during the month of January.
Towing 12 Sentinel solid streamers, the high-capacity 3D vessel broke the record while conducting a survey for Santos, an Australian-based exploration and production company, offshore east India.
Cameron Astill, executive vice president, APAC (Asia-Pacific) region, commented: "The Symphony achieved a tremendous performance that exceeded client expectations. The deployment of Sentinel, the industry's most robust low-noise streamers, ensured that we provided our clients with the best in data quality to complement the speed and efficiency of acquisition."
